St Albans Film Festival - Get Involved

St
Albans is to host is first ever Film Festival and there are only a few
weeks left to enter as the deadline for entries to the festival is the
end of Jan 2013. You don’t need to be based in Herts, anywhere
is fine, UK and International entries already!

There are six prize winning categories and they will be awarding a prize to
the best short film made by a school age child age 5 -15. The films can
be dramatic films, animation or documentary and can be on any subject
they like. They can be as short as 1min but no longer than 20mins.

They will be choosing the best films and screening them to a live audience at the festival March 8th – 10th
and they will invite the short-listed film-makers to take part. One
will win the cash prize. We have lots of press covering the festival so
it will be great for the students and schools involved. They have films
submitted already from schools and also from
individual children. It’s just £5 to enter a film. There will be lots to
take part in alongside the screenings including workshops, talks and
events throughout the festival.
